When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1932

“You’re welcome,” Alissa replied warmly.

They returned to the living room and engaged in light conversation.

As lunchtime approached, Stella received a message from Bella.

It read, “I made some food.

I’ll bring it to you later.

Are you at home or in the studio?”

Concerned about Bella exerting herself, Stella was about to decline when an idea struck her.

Turning to Alissa, she asked, “Alissa, do you have any plans for Lunch?”

“Already lunchtime?” Alissa looked surprised.

“If you don’t mind, why don’t you stay here for lunch? I can whip up a few simple dishes.

”

Stella hurriedly explained, “My mother just messaged me.

She has prepared lunch.

If you don’t have other plans, I’d love to take you to join us.

”

Stella believed Alissa and Bella, being around the same age and in the same industry, would have plenty to talk about.

“I don’t think it’s proper…” Alissa hesitated, her voice trailing off.

“You’ve already spent so much time with me today.

You’ve finally reunited with your mother.

I shouldn’t intrude.

”

Stella shook her head firmly.

“Please don’t say that.

You’ve been so kind to me today.

I had planned to invite you to Lunch, but since my mother has already prepared it, I would love for you to join us.

”

Alissa still seemed uncertain.

“Your mother and I have never met before.

I don’t want to impose.

”

“No, it’s not a bother at all,” Stella reassured her with a warm smile.

“I’ve already spoken to her about it, and she’s excited to meet you and insisted that you join us.

”

Unable to refuse anymore, Alissa smiled and agreed, “Alright then.

”

As they headed out, Alissa asked Stella, “Is there anything your mother particularly likes? I can’t go empty-handed.

I’d like to bring a gift.

Stella paused, realizing she didn’t know much about her mother’s personal preferences.

Since she knew

Bella, they had mostly talked about work; they rarely discussed such things.

“I’m sorry, I’m not sure,” Stella admitted awkwardly.

“To be honest, I don’t know what she likes.

”

Noticing Stella’s embarrassment, Alissa smiled warmly and reassured her, “It’s alright.

You two have just reunited.

You’ll learn more about each other in time.

I’m sure your mother won’t mind.

”

Spotting a flower shop by the roadside, Alissa suggested, “Let’s pull over here.

I’ll grab a bunch of flowers.

”

Stella halted the car, and Alissa quickly purchased a bunch of Lilies before returning to the car.

They arrived at Bella’s home, where Bella greeted them warmly.

Noticing Kristian wasn’t present, Stella felt relieved.

Bella smiled warmly at Alissa and said, “So you’re Professor Perez? You have such grace.

Thank you for helping Stella last time.

”

Upon seeing Bella, Alissa felt an immediate sense of familiarity, as if they were old friends.
